Can anyone think of any chart weeks where two or more songs that would go on to become classics were released in the same week? I'll start off:

 

W/E 3/6/2000

 

Sonique - It Feels So Good

S Club 7 - Reach

 

Pretty unfortunate for Reach to run into Sonique for 3 weeks in a row, it's probably their signature song, or at least on par with Don't Stop Movin'.

 

W/E 27/10/2000

 

Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love

Take That - Rule The World

 

Both million sellers, Rule The World would have topped the chart on pretty much any other week in 2007 with the sale it had :(

I guess the obvious one is w/e 15/12/84

1 - "Do They Know It's Christmas" - Band Aid

2 - "Last Christmas"/"Everything She Wants" - Wham!

 

 

 

^^You can add Frankie to the 1984 chart too although it was No1 the week before!

So it was not released that week as the topic stated :D

From 1997

 

Spice Girls-Spice Up Your Life

Aqua-Barbie Girl

 

And

 

Janet Jackson-Together Again

Robbie Williams-Angels

 

Teletubbies released a million seller that week too-but would we count that as a 'classic'?

I don't know if I'm stretching it to call Runaway by The Corrs a 'classic' but it was released on the same week as Baby One More Time. I was devastated.
I would count Runaway but then I'm biased.

Black eyed peas - where is the love?

Dido - white flag

I just thought it was worth a mention as I love the song lol

How about most million sellers in the top 100 at any given time? :thinking:

But this is based on weeks 2 classics were new entries and not when 2 classics were in the same chart but were released on different weeks :)

It's stretching it less than Sonique!

 

On the other hand, that was the third time 'Runaway' had been released.

:lol: I guess it's a classic in certain dance circles, even though it seems to be becoming more and more forgotten as time goes on. For the record I've never actually cared much for the song, or any of her material.

I suppose everyone's idea of what songs are considered classics will differ.

 

Week Ending 18/03/1989

Madonna - Like A Prayer

Guns N Roses - Paradise City

 

In my humble opinion, both of these have stood the test of time well.

 

Week Ending 08/12/1973

Wizzard - I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday

Elton John - Step Into Christmas

 

Elton didn't make the top 40 that week, but entered next week where Slade - Merry Xmas Everybody was also a new entry. Who'd have thought that 40 years later they would all be Christmas classics?
